Owen came today concerning my leaky basement windows. He helped as much as he could to stop air and water leakage until I can get these windows replaced. Also checked my foundation in a walk around for prevention sake. Thanks Owen for giving me some extra TLC!!!

Davis was prompt and friendly during my yearly inspection..he listened to me and answered all my questions with professionalism and kindness. I felt like there was no question he wouldn't answer and I didn't worry if I worded my questions wrongly, he knew what I was talking about. He didn't push extra services on me and he used his time well. I feel safer about my foundation after his work . Highly recommended. Thank you, Davis!

Very pleased with our experience. Tahlor came out on time, listened to our goals, performed the inspection, and took the time to explain what he found, what it would take to repair the issue and answer questions. I have been receiving a string of poor customer service lately…this was a breathe of fresh air. I would highly recommend FRS to anyone.

Jimmie Matthews and his crew spent just about eight hours restoring life to the 110 y ear old home I grew up in and purchased earlier this year. The century of living had put some wear and tear on the foundation, but Jimmie and his 5-man team reinforced the old girl with steel girders that will cradle her long after I'm gone. Thanks for the professional work, guys.

I reached out to Foundation Recovery Systems because of significant cracks along the left and back walls of my detached garage. I had already received two other quotes, but neither company provided much detail beyond telling me that piers or plates were needed to address the issue. Kyle B. truly went above and beyond. He took thorough measurements, tested the soundness of the concrete pad, and took the time to explain the entire process from start to finish. He answered every question I had and was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the visit. When Foundation Recovery Systems says they are transparent, they genuinely mean it. I feel confident moving forward with this project and can’t wait to have my garage stabilized so I can use the walls without worrying about the cracks getting worse. I’ll update this review once the work is completed, but so far I’m extremely happy with my decision to choose Foundation Recovery Systems over their competitors. Thanks again, Kyle B.!

Having a 25 year career with a world class engineering firm, my knowledge and experience qualifies my comments on this team. While withholding any review on the functionality and results of the push-piers, this review focuses entirely on the FRS crew, Derrick (inspections & sales coordinator), Byron B. (Team leader), and Kris B. (Apprentice/skilled technician), of whom I believe to be world class, as well. I can’t say enough about this team. Working through lunches both days, this team brings professionalism to the workplace with no complaints – period. All responses were “Sir, yes sir”. Laying protective coverings in high traffic areas, listening and working with customer’s concepts and requests, explaining their work, and equally important – cleaning up behind themselves, leaving only the refined work to indicate their presence. Thank you so much for your excellent work ethics and respect to our property, Byron and Kris!

How We Encapsulate Your Crawl Space

Securing a safe and dry crawl space is a detailed process. Each step in these solutions and installations is key to transforming your crawl space into an area that’s dry, clean, and contributes to your home’s energy efficiency. 

Control Ground Water Seepage

What We Do

The ground around and under your house is full of water. Rain and snow saturate the soil, seep into your crawl space, and evaporates, filling the crawl space with moisture and humidity. It’s the perfect environment for mold and wood rot to eat away at the structure of your home. The first thing we do to stop this from happening is to add drainage in your crawl space to cycle out the water trying to get in.

What We Use

Change the Environment

What We Do

The next step we take to protect your crawl space from moisture is to seal it with an industrial grade vapor barrier. This will change the environment in your crawl space and keep it controlled. It will keep all the moisture trying to destroy your home from getting in through open crawl space vents, gaps in the foundation wall, and any other opening. All of these need to be encapsulated. With encapsulation from Foundation Recovery Systems, a healthier, more stable home is finally possible.

What We Use

Properly Insulate the Home

What We Do

Imagine you left your front door open all winter long. That’s what it’s like without a properly insulated crawl space. With your crawl space and subfloor exposed to the elements, your floor will get cold, and then you’ll see your energy bills climb as your heating overworks itself. That’s why Foundation Recovery Systems installs insulation blocks that resists moisture and mold, keep your home warm, and your energy bills low.
